(straight line is Q = 481.5 -/ a31 )<br />

Figure 5 compares our Q model for S waves in the Guangdong region with the Q models for S or Lg<br />

waves in other regions [Mark "1" Q = 130/ 10 for Apennines of Italy (Malagnini et al., 2000a); Mark<br />

"2" Q = 150/ 5 for West America (Chin and Aki, 1991); Mark "3" Q = 56/ 01 for Oaxaca of Mexico<br />

(Castro and Munguia, 1993); Mark "4" Q = 4QO/ 42<br />

for Central Europe (Malagnini et al., 2000b);<br />

Mark "5" Q = 670/ 33 for Eastern Canada (Atkinson and Mereu, 1992); Mark "6" Q = 508/ 48 for<br />

Indian shield region (Singh et al., 1999); and Mark "7" Q = 680/ 36 s for Eastern North America<br />

(Atkinson and Boore, 1995)]. We found that the Q model for shear waves in the Guangdong region<br />

is similar to that in Central Europe.<br />
